    Emma, you’re not alone!
    Despite my best intentions (see above…and do not let it fool you that I’m organised) life has derailed my plan to begin.
    I’ve pledged to simply splurge down all of my thoughts on to a piece of paper. There will be no particular rhyme or reason to it but at least it will be out of my head, I’ll feel like I have started and I can ruminate on it instead of worrying any further.
    Keep being kind to your brain, it sounds very stretched.x

    Hayley, you’re a life saver. I have saved it now. Thank you so much.
    Good luck for the staff meeting. Let us all know how that goes, please?
    I have shared the SSTEW audit book and the manager is ordering a copy for the setting. It’s encouraging to experience that what we learn on the course is well received.

    Actually, I cannot access the resources for CPLD Day 2 as my device says it’s corrupt. My written notes from the PowerPoint, just before the Goswami section, say I was expecting an email with the SST task to be sent out after our session however, I remember my email address was an issue at that time and I can not find it.
    Please may some kind soul detail the tasking on here for me? Thank you Holly for prompting me to check this out.

    Hi Holly,
    not as yet however it’s very much on my mind with the realisation that we close for half term this week. That’s come up quickly!
    I’ve scheduled to go back into my notes from CPLD day 2 to remind myself of the task. I’ve enjoyed the Kathie Brodie text from our book bag on SST and it’s definitely made sense to my brain and helped me to interact more meaningfully with the children instead of wasting questions so to speak.
    Are you ready to begin your task?

    Joley, the Spiffy happiness shop is a joy sparker! Love it.

    Thank you for the feedback.
    I have been reading around since questioning how to best record this task. I’m developing a better sense of EY planning versus the concept of a plan which has connotations of rigidity. If that makes sense? With a few trials I imagine I will develop personal planning templates.
    I can certainly appreciate the benefits to be made from habitual reflection after a planned activity. If some form of recorded plan is available this process will be supported. I can explore how reflective practice happens within my setting.

    Learning through play in the early years.

    A colourful and user-friendly document about provision and progression of play. Well worth browsing.
    (A sort of how to play manual)

    Play themes are sectioned:
    Dramatic
    Sand
    Water
    Clay/dough
    Tabletop
    Small world
    Construction
    Creative

    Although developed for Northern Ireland’s curriculum, it has great ideas and details that are certainly transferable to EYFS.

    As a new career change, this document will definitely help me to plan my future lessons. I hope you find it useful too.
    (If you wish to print, it is readable with four slides per page to save on paper and ink.)

    ZERO SUICIDE ALLIANCE:

    A free 20 minute course which may make all the difference to someone in need.

    Frank discussions about suicide and it’s prevention, may be triggering.

    If you fancy a bit of research, this site offers free student membership to those “on a postgraduate programme related to education”. If you register, it allows access to academic journals, periodicals etc via the EBSCO database. A number of book discounts are also available. Plenty of access to full articles on EY subjects although the search criteria phraseology may take some tweaking.
